Summary
CBS has released the full transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, refuting Trump’s claims that the network deceptively edited her responses to favor her campaign.
The transcript confirms CBS followed standard journalistic practice by using a “succinct” segment of Harris’ Israel remarks, while Trump has exaggerated and misrepresented the edits.
FCC commissioner Brendan Carr’s decision to revisit the complaint highlights how executive power can serve political vendettas.
Paramount may settle Trump’s lawsuit, which CBS calls “completely without merit,” to avoid regulatory retaliation.
Kamala Harris’s 60 minutes interview had 5.7 million live viewers, and as of today, 3.8 million views on YouTube. Making approximately 9.5 million views total.
Spotify doesn’t release their numbers, but just on YouTube, Donald Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s 3-hour podcast got over 26 million views in the first 24 hours (and today is sitting at 55 million views).
Even if CBS was somehow unfair, it doesn’t matter. Trump got a massive viewership advantage going on Rogan, but because he’s a fossil, doesn’t see it that way, because he still thinks broadcast TV is mainstream media. It’s not. Joe Rogan is mainstream media at this point.
It’s the same with him suing the iowa pollster. In the end, her prediction didn’t matter, in fact, it probably helped him win iowa by energizing his base. But he’s such a narcissist/facsist that he can’t handle anyone opposing him.
Also, he went on Rogan the day Harris was supposed to appear on his show. He didn’t just get a massive boost with that appearance. He blocked a pre arranged appearance by his opponent. Rogan got to play kingmaker.
